Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, Concubine Xie's birthday has arrived.

Since that day, Zi'er and Peony have quarreled in Yuqi Pavilion for a pot of fruit, and Jiang Mengyun continues to insist on "harmony is precious", but it seems that it has little effect.

Because of her disobedience, Zi'er played a temper with Peony from time to time, and Peony was not afraid of her at all by relying on Jiang Mengyun's leniency.

The two had a small quarrel for three days and a big quarrel for five days, and the most recent time almost burned Jiang Mengyun's house with a fire, so frightened that Concubine Xi got up in the middle of the night and reprimanded the two of them.

But even that didn't work.

Now everyone in the palace knows that they are mortal enemies.

The Liang Palace, which has always been strictly disciplined, has a time to talk about after dinner, and everyone is talking about these two unique minions.

Some people say that Zi'er has Concubine Xie behind her, and she doesn't take Jiang Mengyun in her eyes at all, and she doesn't listen to the new master at all, and some say that Peony is lazy to eat and do it with the support of Queen Xue, and she doesn't know what to do if she steals it.

Some people couldn't help but sympathize with Jiang Mengyun.

Even if it is a world-famous strategist, an orphan girl enters the palace, and look, she is not going to be bullied by her subordinates.

In the past ten days, the gossip has not stopped.

Empress Xue sat in the middle pavilion of Tingyu Pavilion with a cold face, and at this moment she was in a lawsuit: "Is this peony okay?" Let her think of squeezing those two girls away, she's good to make such a big commotion! ”

Mingqiu was still holding a roster in his hand, and he was turning to Mingyue's page, and he couldn't help but raise his head when he heard this: "Niangniang, there are even three of her in that room, Zi'er is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and Mingyue has a concubine as a backer, but I'm afraid that her life will be difficult." ”

"Difficult?" Empress Xue snorted coldly, "Everyone has their own abilities, if she can't do it, get back as soon as possible, don't be embarrassed outside!" ”

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but regret it: "I knew that this palace shouldn't have been hidden, and sending you there, or going to it next winter, is better than the current thing that is not enough to succeed and more than to fail." ”

Empress Xue sighed: "Didn't our concubine arrange for Zi'er to go over?" ”

Mingqiu opened his mouth and wanted to persuade again, but Mingchun on the side rarely grabbed the conversation: "Niangniang, the slave always feels that this is not right......

"What's wrong?" Empress Xue raised her hand and rubbed her temples.

What's wrong, Ming Chun hasn't been able to figure it out for a while, but there must be something wrong.

According to what she had seen before, although Jiang Mengyun had a gentle temper, she was by no means such a bully.

How could a really weak and bullying little woman easily escape the disaster of annihilation, go all the way to Daliang, and survive in this troubled world.

It is precisely because she is not easy to bully that Ming Chun has always insisted on letting Empress Xue use her.

When she interrogated Duo'er, she didn't know what it meant to be soft-hearted.

But now the two palace maids have made a lot of trouble, and even rumors have spread all over the world, as the master, but she doesn't have the ability to suppress this matter?

Then this Jiang girl is really in vain.

Mingchun felt that something was really wrong, but it didn't make sense to say that Jiang Mengyun deliberately provoked this matter, so decent, what did she want to let the minions below fight to the death?

And it's up to them to fight, but they don't let people take care of it.

Things that have not yet been proven, naturally can't talk nonsense in front of the master, and Ming Chun's words were suppressed again: "The slave is thinking, should I withdraw the peony first." ”

"What? She can't make it? Empress Xue asked.

Ming Chun shook his head, and his tone was a little solemn: "Niangniang, it's not a question of whether she can succeed or not, it's that we don't know what the direction of things will be......"

"Sister Mingchun is also too careful," before her voice fell, Mingdong happened to come in from outside the door, and she didn't agree with it, "At this time, if we withdraw people, wouldn't it be clear that we lost to Concubine Xie Guifei, and it seems that we are at a loss, and it is a joke." ”

Although Ming Dong's words are radical, there is some truth in them.

Empress Xue felt that she had spoken to her heart: "If you lose to Concubine Xie Guifei in this, where will the face of this palace go?" What's more, Jiang Mengyun is the bloodline of my Xue family, if you want to withdraw, you should also remove that Zi'er with the surname Xie. ”

But Peony is really a dou who can't be helped, and since she stole strawberries, outsiders' impression of her has been extremely bad.

Even Tingyu Pavilion was ridiculed from time to time.

Although the crime of stealing food is not big, it is really ugly.

Empress Xue was secretly annoyed again.

It's really not a good thing to cover her ears and steal the bell, Jiang Mengyun is so smart, it is impossible to guess that Peony was sent to watch her, even so, why pretend to be in the first place, provoke him to shoot himself in the foot now.

She should make it clear that she doesn't trust her, and let people spy on her openly.

But in this world, regret is the most useless thing.

Besides, people make mistakes, and someone peeps behind them, and it is always impossible to prevent it.

It's only strange that the peony is still a little tender, and he doesn't even have this bit of defense.

Empress Xue said so, Ming Chun is naturally not good at being stubborn.

She couldn't help frowning, this matter is really difficult, what they said is not unreasonable, besides, there is another problem, it is easy for people to withdraw, but it is difficult to send people again.

Mingchun thought about it, so he had to give the last suggestion: "Then let Peony use dim sum, or force the other two girls back, or ......"

She paused, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in her eyes: "Let Jiang Mengyun disappear completely." ”

Empress Xue was stunned for a moment, but finally nodded.

The plan has been decided, and Mingdong will soon go out again to ventilate and report the news, and Mingqiu will slowly retreat, leaving Mingchun beside Queen Xue to frown: "Niangniang, I'm afraid we have to think of a way back." ”

This was said vaguely, but Queen Xue understood it, and the implication was naturally that if the peony couldn't do either thing, then they would have to think of a perfect way to kill people with a knife.

However, this situation is too complex to be solved in a short time.

There is a more important thing at the moment: "The birthday of our noble concubine is coming, and tomorrow the emperor has asked the imperial dining room to prepare a palace banquet, the most festive day......"

Empress Xue asked, "How are you arranging over there?" ”

"Niangniang rest assured," Speaking of this, Ming Chun's brows finally relaxed, and he returned to his previous confident appearance, "The slave maid has been sending people to keep an eye on it, that Bing'er is ready to move, and there will be many people in the palace tomorrow, she will inevitably take the opportunity to make trouble." ”

She smiled and grabbed a handful of her hand in the air: "No matter whether she wants to report the news, or what she wants to provoke, the slave will not let her succeed easily, and she must let the concubine know something." ”

Empress Xue breathed a long sigh of relief.

The energy that has been held back these days has finally been relieved here, although Xie Guifei has not shown up these days, that Zi'er has suppressed Peony and can't raise her head at all.

She suddenly thanked Jiang Mengyun a little.

If it weren't for her favoritism, I'm afraid Peony would have been kicked out of the Yuqi Pavilion a long time ago.

It's just that...... People's hearts are unpredictable, if you can't be sure that you can control it, no matter how outstanding you are, you can only be relieved if you destroy it.

She didn't want to shoot herself in the foot anymore.

Just after noon the next day, the Daliang Palace was lively again.

The last palace banquet was to celebrate the victory of the second prince and his return to the court, and this time it was to celebrate the birthday of Concubine Xie, and the wind direction of the court was about to change.

What's more, everyone has long known the virtues of the prince, and now they are more and more about holding the Phoenix Immortal Hall to the sky.

The generals of Daliang have already defected and become the people of the second prince's faction, only Wenchen still remembers the family motto of his ancestors, remembers the rules of establishing a successor and a long, and desperately wants to protect His Royal Highness the prince who is not a weapon.

If it is in a peaceful and prosperous era, it is naturally the world of Wenchen, but now it is a troubled era, and the Liang is extremely martial, so it can be seen that the military generals who come and go lead their relatives and relatives, and send countless rare antiques to Xie Guifei's house.

Several civil servants pretended to be high and did not want to fight with them, and were directly squeezed into the corner by those military generals and people.

It looks like I want to get forward but can't go.

Empress Xue took Mingchun to look at it from a distance, and commented expressionlessly: "It's really a big battle." ”

"Niangniang," Ming Chun lowered his head and laughed, "You are tolerant and generous, but Concubine Xie doesn't know how to restrain at all, but...... Today is probably the last time she will be so lively, and the slaves and maids have already arranged it, just wait for them to fall into the trap, and we can close the net immediately. ”

Empress Xue hooked her lips slightly.

She is still very relieved to do things in the spring of tomorrow.

Thinking that the second prince led the troops to the battle, seeing that the army of Ning Guo was difficult to defeat, Empress Xue couldn't sleep day and night, and Ming Chun came up with a trick to disconnect the enemy, and sure enough, he succeeded in disintegrating the enemy.

The one surnamed Xie is now arrogant, and probably doesn't know that their middle palace is the biggest hero.

But it doesn't matter if you know it or not, this Xie Guifei is going to plummet today.

The crowd was busy coming and going, and everyone had already arrived.

The entrance of the Fengxian Hall is particularly lively, some female relatives enter the hall to give gifts, the courtiers stand respectfully outside, and many sons of the family get together to chat in twos and threes, and naturally the young ladies are indispensable to answer the frolic shyly.

In the chaos, Jiang Mengyun saw Bing'er beside Concubine Xie from a distance, and quietly ran out from the side door of the Phoenix Immortal Palace.

She turned a blind eye and was expressionless, and soon caught a glimpse of Ming Dong's cat bent on the waist, clinging to the corner of the wall, and following like a shadow.

Jiang Mengyun and Concubine Xi came a little late, so they stood far away, with flowers and branches in front of them, and a crowd of people around, this was really a wonderful place to peep.

But this was obviously a struggle between Tingyu Pavilion and the Phoenix Immortal Palace, and it had nothing to do with her.

Jiang Mengyun turned around and wanted to leave, but in the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a little palace maid who didn't know when to walk up to King Qi and whispered something, King Qi was slightly stunned, thinking about it and seemed to hesitate, and the next moment, he raised his heels with determination.

Squinted his eyes and looked carefully, the direction in which the palace maid took the person ......

Jiang Mengyun hurriedly turned around and said to Concubine Xi: "Niangniang, I'll go over there and take a look, His Royal Highness King Qi seems to be there, last time he sent fruit, I haven't thanked you yet." ”
